Midweek Mezzorant The Sequel

Over the months I have seen so many videos from people who believe this virus is a hoax and those who believe it is very real, that to me it merely has become a discussion on how capable and convincing someone is in expressing their view on it. If someone says virus, someone else yells hoax and that is how the bidding starts. Everything else, the loss of life, individual grief, the impact and damage on people's personal lives and society, has become irrelevant in the battle of wanting to be right and knowing it best. And if you don't agree? Well, fuck you, your pain and your proof, I still know better. A perfect feeding ground to create a society where who is most aggressive wins. A society divided and broken up by individualism, chaos and violence.

In that respect it is no different from sales and marketing tactics or getting elected as president I guess. With the increase of (social) media, our society has become one big marketing playground, complete with technical analysis and 3D power point strategies on how to increase the sales area and thus increase (political) power. By graphs, personalized ads, subjective media etc.

The Loudest Voice comes to mind. For those who haven’t seen it last year, here’s a trailer

Maybe the wrong example for this forum and not my meaning to take a political side when it comes to media, (Fox, CNN and any other, they all use the same biased format), but merely an example to show you that we live in a content society. Roger Ailes (whatever personal opinion you may have about this guy) said: “People don't want to be informed, they want to féél informed.” I agree with that. We suffer from a severe form of information obesity. 24/7 in your face reporting, combined with the need for recognition, to be heard. We put on social media that we are going for a smoke or that the cat has vomited 25 times, in the morning alone. Everything can be seen and perhaps even more important, said. On every platform. TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Media, Fora, you name it.

Of course I also firmly believe there is a big control aspect in this crisis from big pharma and the global governments. Everywhere there is money to be made or power to be gained, there are games being played. And those games do not care whether there is human life involved. Human life is merely an asset on the social and political game board, as said to increase the sales area, read power.

But that does not have to exclude the fact that there is a deadly virus going around, more than likely even a released bio weapon to play this game. Next to that, Mother Nature does have a say in this, since as population (including those who want to control us), we are merely assets in her greater game. Earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, diseases, plagues. At the end of the day it is just a matter of who is the most powerful player on the game. On a universal level, I would really put my money on Mother Nature.

Sometimes I do wish there would be a total reset, or at least something that kills the whole current technology communication structure, so that people need to only rely on their own instincts again and make their own decisions, without being politically labeled, instead of being fed by the bigger players in the game. It would also make it more clear what is real or not, when a natural disaster occurs. Own instinct, own decision, make choices in who to trust or not, where political label is completely erased or at least strongly subjective to surviving. Simple life with instinctive behavior and thinking. Not the artificial intelligent robots we generally have become.

Do you really think that with yesterday’s Beirut disaster, people among each other made a choice in who they help or who they won’t help in the instance it occured? Base their reaction and reaching out on religion, color or politics? No, it is instinct. We help the ones that hurt. Fuck religion, color and politics. It is appalling to see people gloat and cheer the people who died in that disaster, because they are “fuckin’ muzz” and they “deserve what is coming to them.” If your block explodes and you are lying there severely wounded, would you ask the people that want to help you get to a hospital, what their political preference or religion is? Or refuse their help based on color?

But that's how I see it. I have never given a rats ass for what they are trying to fed me. I rely on what I see and act to it. My decision, not theirs. I have no problem wearing a mask if I believe that avoids me getting killed by some damn virus or whatever goes around. I don't need someone to tell me that or others to condemn me for that. My decision, not theirs. If they don't want to wear one, well then don't, but don't hate me for doing the opposite. If people want to get the vaccine, let them get it, don't hate them for it. If others don't want it, then don't take it.

That is what is wrong in our society. Too many people thinking for us and pushing their opinion upon us, through all layers in society. The media, millions of experts, people in power, people in the streets, making videos in their cars, spouting their midweek rants on a forum. Of course it is their own right, but don't hate or ridicule others for their own opinion. Live and let live and at least try to stick together. We need that more than being divided. We are only at the beginning of this crisis.

Okay, enough Mezzo! I know. It just gets on my nerves to see so many people pushing opinions upon us. We are all free spirits. We don't need others to tell us what is right or wrong. We either agree or disagree, but let us base our opinions on our own judgement and not on that what is fed to us by those who don't really care whether we live or die, as long as their power is secured and increased.

As always, another probably way too long two cents rant. Read it or not, your own choice of course. Either way, stay safe and sane and enjoy your Wednesday Time Zones.
